Chapter 101: Qin Nainai's Instructions, Posting the Video Online

~8 min read 1,453 words

To Qin Nainai, Cheng Wan was her own granddaughter.

Having relied on each other for many years, how could she watch them destroy her?

Her only regret was not seeing the child named Ping'an.

She did not wait for Ping'an at the Qin Family.

But she believed that Wanwan would take good care of Ping'an.

Cheng Wan almost cried until she fainted.

Chu Li supported her from the side, his heart moved by how Qin Nainai had looked out for Cheng Wan.

Although he also had arrangements in place.

It was just that now, there was no need for him to step forward.

The lawyer glanced at Chu Li and comforted Cheng Wan, "According to the old lady's request, this video will be uploaded to the internet simultaneously. Please accept my condolences, Miss Cheng."

His words instantly caused an uproar.

Qin Jianguo, unable to believe it, rushed up and grabbed the lawyer by the collar, "You are spouting nonsense; she could not possibly have done this."

If the video were posted online, that would be his ruin.

A mother could not possibly destroy her son.

"Was it you..." Qin Jianguo pointed at Cheng Wan, his face flushed red and twisted with ferocity, "It must be that you colluded; you planned this long ago to destroy the Qin Family."

He was filled with grief and indignation, questioning Cheng Wan, "You usurped my daughter's identity and enjoyed three years of wealth and glory in her place. Now that Grandma has just died, you are joining forces with outsiders to deal with our family. You are simply an ingrate."

Unfortunately, in everyone's eyes, his questioning was nothing but the impotent rage of a weakling.

After all, the staff from the notary office had verified the authenticity of the video.

The old lady truly cherished her granddaughter.

And she truly did not care for this son.

Cheng Wan was grief-stricken, feeling it was unjust for Grandma.

"If you had cared for her for even a single day, or cherished your daughter for even a single day, I don't think Grandma would have done this."

She turned her head away, not wanting to look at Qin Jianguo for another second.

Provoked to the point of losing his sanity, Qin Jianguo looked around wildly, reached out to grab the incense burner on the table, and smashed it fiercely toward Cheng Wan.

"I'll beat you to death, you ingrate."

He had gone mad.

He had also forgotten that Cheng Wan did not come alone.

Chu Li kicked Qin Jianguo in the chest, sending him flying.

The incense burner rolled away with a clatter.

Qin Jianguo hit his head on the steps, his head and face covered in blood.

Lady Qin ran over, "Jianguo."

Qin Yunshu was teary-eyed, "Dad."

The three of them helped each other up, finding themselves standing outside the mourning hall before they knew it.

Qin Yunshu was filled with grief and indignation; at Grandma's funeral, with so many people watching, Chu Li had kicked her father away.

It was very disrespectful to her.

Just as she was about to speak, Lady Qin tugged at her clothes and gave her a look.

Qin Yunshu had no choice but to hold it in.

She hated Cheng Wan even more in her heart.

An impostor, how dare she?

Her eyes turned red.

Lady Qin shed tears: "Forget it, forget it. No matter what, Grandma and we are family. No matter who she favored, we cannot truly sever ties."

"Jianguo, do not cause trouble at Mom's funeral."

Qin Jianguo had already regained his senses and nodded dejectedly.

Cheng Wan walked to the family position to keep vigil for Grandma.

Qin Jianguo went to the Yiyuan, while Lady Qin and Qin Yunshu stayed behind.

The two of them stood at a distance of one person's width from Cheng Wan.

Cheng Wan did not care.

After standing for a while, Chu Li went out to answer a phone call.

Lin Qingya arrived; she offered incense to Grandma, comforted Cheng Wan, and whispered in her ear: "That video of Grandma has gone viral."

Netizens were moved by that sisterly bond and naturally loathed those parents who gave birth but did not raise their children.

In just a short two hours, the phones at the Qin Family's company were being blown up.

Cheng Wan's eyes were filled with tears.

She would rather be misunderstood and scolded by others than lose Grandma.

People from the Cheng Family arrived.

Cheng Mingzhu, a tall man, and Qin Shen.

With Grandma having passed away, Qin Shen had a legitimate reason to return.

He had lost a lot of weight; he kowtowed to Grandma and then walked over to Lady Qin and Qin Yunshu to embrace them.

Finally, he looked up at Cheng Wan, his expression filled with deep malice.

Cheng Wan remained calm and composed, acting as if she did not see him.

Cheng Mingzhu stomped her feet fiercely, "How truly shameless, to usurp someone else's identity and still dare to appear here so openly."

A sinister gaze landed on the position of Cheng Wan's belly.

One could only say that Cheng Wan was very lucky; despite having become a social pariah, she had gained the favor of Chu Li because of her pregnancy.

She couldn't help but wonder, was a child really that important?

The man beside her spoke with a hint of laziness: "Cheng Mingzhu, stop gossiping about others behind their backs."

Cheng Wan heard this and looked over, somewhat surprised.

She met the man's nonchalant gaze.

Subsequently, she noticed that Qin Yunshu's gaze had been fixed on the man the entire time.

Hidden within her glistening tears was adoration.

The man's identity was practically written on his face.

"It's Cheng Han," Lin Qingya said, standing on Cheng Wan's other side, her voice very soft, just enough for Cheng Wan to hear, "Cheng Mingzhu's brother."

As expected.

Cheng Wan withdrew her gaze, just feeling a bit surprised.

Someone as arrogant and domineering as Cheng Mingzhu actually had a polite brother.

Just as she was thinking this, Cheng Han suddenly walked over in this direction.

Lin Qingya lowered her head even further and said hurriedly, "Wanwan, I have something to do, I'm leaving first."

Before Cheng Wan could even speak, she had already left from behind Cheng Wan, just happening to brush past the man.

Cheng Han walked up to Cheng Wan and nodded slightly as a greeting.

"Are you A Li's wife?" he asked.

Cheng Wan could not figure out his intentions, so she only said coldly and aloofly, "We have already divorced."

This was a fact.

Cheng Han raised an eyebrow and wanted to say more, but Chu Li returned after finishing his call.

"A Li, long time no see."

The two had once been good friends, but they had cut off contact because of Qin Yunshu.

But currently, the two families had new business collaborations.

Chu Li's tone was very flat, "Long time no see."

"Shall we chat?" Cheng Han raised an eyebrow in invitation.

Chu Li agreed, "Mm."

However, he did not leave immediately, but instead helped Cheng Wan to a chair nearby to rest.

He whispered a reminder: "Wait for me to come back."

He touched Cheng Wan's hair and went with Cheng Han to the doorway not far away.

Cheng Han remarked with some surprise, "To see that you now have someone you cherish so much, I am happy for you."

Looking back on the events of those years, there was a certain youthful recklessness to them.

Chu Li did not pick up on his words, only asking, "You're back, Yun Shu is very happy."

Qin Yunshu had returned to the country precisely because she had quarreled with Cheng Han.

But she still loved Cheng Han.

Chu Li hoped she could get what she wished for.

Cheng Han lit a cigarette in a leisurely manner, "I know."

The swirling smoke blurred his handsome face.

"When do you plan to settle things?" Chu Li asked.

Back then, they had gone abroad together in a blaze of glory; their feelings were deep enough.

Cheng Han exhaled a puff of smoke in a somewhat devil-may-care manner.

"What about you? Do you still like her?"

Chu Li did not like this appearance of Cheng Han's; it was not steady enough.

But he had always been like this, unrestrained and unconventional.

What Qin Yunshu liked was also this side of him.

"Cheng Han, you should know that Yun Shu is my sister now; you cannot let her down."

Cheng Han was noncommittal, only looking into the distance toward the inside, "A Li, since you have someone you like, you should be looking after her, not other women."
